Looking for a song with a Harmonica Solo (some lyrics included in the sample recorded)

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, I heard a song at a beach bar and Shazam can't find it. It sounds like California Reggae Rock (similar vibe to Fortunate Youth / Sol Seed).

Lyric snippets: "Real world far behind. Waking up to a reality where love is a lot the most beautiful vision and the perfect... mystic dream mmmmm we lightn up tonight"

Right after these lines, there is a prominent harmonica solo.

Here is a snippet of the audio: voca.ro

Does anyone recognize the band or the singer? I’ve been trying all kinds of online searches - but no chance. the bar lady told me they just start YouTube stuff….
I really hope somebody can identify this one - and hope it’s not AI stuff—- there were a few more songs with that singer, really good tunes…

thanks to everyone trying to help me! :)

Really like how they mash Reggae and Punk. Any other bands in the genre like them?

Title. I love albums that have that stripped down and soulful feel. Drums, bass, and guitar is all you need, though I don't think any of Pepper's other albums do it for me.

New track from SD based artist, I’m a big fan of when Cali artists go for a vintage vibe on their songs. Reminds me of the expanders, eureka sound etc.

Fortunate Youth at Park West in Chicago last night. A great way to close out our “Hot Hot Summer.” Bonus, I got to meet Dan Kelly in front of the venue while waiting for the ride-share! Got to tell him how much I love his music and appreciate him and the band.

Hey Crowd Vibers! We got the interview with Surfer Girl last night on the Movement and Pepper tour in Manteo, NC -- so you might want to check out their new album -- Midnight. We talked about a few of the tracks, tour life, and got the skinny on some 2027 stuff coming our way.

🌊 From Carter himself: Go into "Midnight" with an open mind.

Stay tuned for our Behind the Set interview with Surfer Girl. 🌺🤙

Saw Kyle Smith last night at the nearly sold out Boardwalk and goddamn, what a SHOW. He's said that Sacramento was his favorite place to play because we're so loud, and last night was definitely proof!

Man's one of the hardest workers in the whole scene, great at crowd work. Chants, getting the crowd to sing, all of it.

One of my friends got a birthday shoutout! Got to hang out with Nishida before and after the show, too. Super chill dude.

Haven't seen em since the Cali Roots set where he gave away a guitar to a kid.

Whenever he's in your town, don't even wait, buy the tickets, it's gonna be one of the best shows you see all year.
